You know, that something you worked so hard for, toiling sweat, blood, and tears.
Or maybe you waited months, or even years for something, trusting in God's timing, exuding all the patience you could muster.
And after all that, God asks you to give it up and sacrifice it to Him.
God asked me to wait 5 years for something (and no, this is not about my book). During that 5 years, He tweaked what I was waiting for (rather, he aligned my heart more with His will). After the 5 years, I thought I had my Isaac...after all, wasn't that what I waited all this time for? Yet, it seems I didn't. The desire of my heart, my Isaac, was not what I was "given". But I felt what I was given is what was God's will, and so I was ready to sacrifice my Isaac for Him.
(I'm being insanely vague here, forgive me.)
It's now been almost 7 years....but God showed me not to sacrifice the desires of my heart. I'm wondering if He was testing me, to see if I was truly willing too.
And now, He is showing me glimpses of the ram. Glimpses that everything I've waited for, He will provide -- far exceedingly above all that I could ask or desire.
Either that, or I'm running circles in the dark thinking I see a light, lol.
Anyway, what Isaac has God asked you to sacrifice? Did you? If yes, was it worth it? If not, do you have regrets?

Chocolate cake. Hmmm...
I have an idea what this may be about. Stay the course, sweetie!
